Pakistan v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 – 1st ODI – Toss Report
The stage is set and the Men in Green are all geared up to face the Sri Lankan side in today’s first One Day International (ODI) game, from the 5-match series, scheduled to kick off at the Dubai International Stadium, on November 11, 2011.
The match toss has been won by the Lankan Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 feels that the dew at the UAE turf will remain favourable for the side’s bowlers.
With the Test series title already bagged by the Pakistani roster, the limited overs outing will surely come as a worthy ground for the Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 to mark a reprisal against Men in Green.
However, for today’s bout, team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 – which according to Captain Misbah, will surely add in more strength to the roster.
Other inclusions on the line-up include opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aizaz-Cheema-c961.
As for the Lankan roster, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AD-Mathews-c913, who will pile up the side’s top and middle batting order.
Coming to the Lions’ bowling arsenal, dangerman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 will also be appearing on today’s bout, and that the player’s addition has already be billed by the Men in Green Captain as a major factor for the side.
Forced into fielding first, Pakistan’s new ball bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 and Aizaz Cheema, will have to deliver an imposing start for the team, in order to secure some early top order wickets, especially with the likes of hard-hitting Dilshan, who has been quite effective under the limited overs format.
However, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 earning the Man of the Series title during the preceding Test run, the spinner will once again have a major role to play for his squad, in order to restrict the Lankan hyped batting arsenal to pile up an accessible chase for the Pakistani batters.
